Windows 7: XFX R7770 driver crashes PC

Finally got my PC running thanks to this site, but now having problems installing drivers for my gfx card.
Its a XFX DD RADEON 7770 1000M 1GB D5 mDP HDMI DVI. When I install the drivers, the pc wants me to reboot. But when I do it freezes after saying "Starting Windows"

I had problems installing the last version on my Radeon HD7770 card. The old drivers must be uninstalled and then the PC rebooted before installing new drivers. I read one place to uninstall the existing drivers, run Driver Detective, reboot and then install the drivers.

It used to be you could install newer drivers over top of existing and it all worked OK. For whatever reason the new drivers require uninstalling the old first.

Format disks and reinstall windows with minimum hardware. Being CPU, RAM,HDD,CDD,and do not add expansion cards yet. Once you install windows again (and the drivers that come with the motherboard), start adding components one by one. Extra Hard Drive, sound card, Ethernet card if necessary,then the GPU.

For some reason the 7770 doesn't like being installed in a fresh build like that. Similar issues happened to me to an extent that my system got bricked. First I thought I had performed a bad driver installation. Card was underperforming, audio lags timed with fps loss, resolution would get messed up, monitors native resolution was unavailable. I went to use driver sweeper, and after I was prompted to restart my computer the system was bricked and refused to boot into windows. Apparently driver sweeper swept more than it had to.

After reinstalling the way I explained above I had no problems whatsoever. I believe I might of had something to do with installing the motherboard chipset drivers, and IGP drivers on top of the settings the GPU had done on the clean install. Or maybe it wasn't that, I really do not know. Some sort of conflict I am sure of.

Anyway, give it a try.

How do I do the above? And will my code I used to install Win 7 work when I re install it?

BSOD Crashes, driver related?I've been having problems for a few days now. At first I thought it was driver related as one of my hardware devices was showing up as 'Unknown' but that's been taken care of. I thought I had cured it because I didn't get BSOD for a couple days, but I've gotten it 3 times today. Kernel-power...
